Two children killed in Centurion bus crash
Three people, including two children, have been killed in a gruesome crash in Centurion on Monday morning.
ER24 spokesperson Russel Meiring says two others were injured when a bus crashed into the side of a car on the R511.
"ER24 paramedics and other services arrived on the scene at 6:50 am to find the bus in the middle of the road while the light motor vehicle was in the veld.
"A woman and a boy, believed to be 8-years-old, were found lying outside the car while another boy, believed to be 6-years-old, and two women were found inside the vehicle. A 6-month-old child was also found inside the light motor vehicle."
Meiring said the woman and the child outside the vehicle were declared dead on the scene.
"The child in the car was in a critical condition, while the two women had sustained moderate injuries. The 6-month-old fortunately escaped injury.
"Medics treated the patients and provided the child with advanced life support interventions. Unfortunately, despite the efforts of paramedics, the critically injured child succumbed to his injuries."
He said two women were transported to a nearby hospital.
